They may be trailing behind Arsenal in the Premier League – but Manchester City are way ahead of the rest when it comes to delivering value to their fans.

Exclusive research by Sunday Mirror Sport shows that Etihad regulars are paying as little as £14.19 per goal as the top flight's heaviest scorers continue to pummel visiting sides.

According to a formula that divides the median season ticket price – the middle figure between the cheapest and most expensive season tickets offered to supporters – by the number of goals scored before this weekend's matches, City supporters are currently paying over £100 per goal LESS than Tottenham fans.

Manuel Pellegrini's side have scored an incredible 38 league goals in just 10 home matches this season – all of which have ended in victory.

Spurs, on the other hand, have netted just 11 times in the same number of games and drawn a home blank four times.

That equates to a whopping £117 a goal for the club's fans.

Equally pleasing for Manchester City fans will be the fact that supporters across the city at Old Trafford are paying £61.75 a goal in comparison.

United have scored 12 goals in 10 home games in the post-Fergie era, winning just four of those matches.

Elsewhere, Arsenal fans are paying a heavy price for success this season, shelling out over £82.77 for every home goal at the Emirates.
